Pharmacology
Hingastak churna is a polyherbal ayurvedic medicine. People use it as a digestive, a carminative, an astringent and an antacid. Studies on its ingredients have shown biological properties linked to an antioxidant mechanism. Ferula assafoetida is a known potent antioxidant, and it protects against gastric ulceration and carcinogenesis caused by free radicals. Its active constituents, asaresinotannols 'A' and 'B' and ferulic acid, help reduce hyperacidity and abdominal pain.
Phenolic amides from Piper nigrum stimulate the digestive organs and increase the flow of saliva and gastric juices. Zerumbon and gingerol, the active components of Zingiber officinale, reduce pain and inflammation of the esophagus. Trachyspermum ammi is very effective in treating excessive secretion of gastric gases. Hingastak churna also offers gastro protection. It does this by increasing prostaglandin synthesis and mucin secretion, which protects the stomach from injury.
